It’s Wednesday night in the NBA and we have a huge 12-game slate to get excited for, including a couple of crunch matchups on ESPN with Magic vs Knicks at 7:00 pm ET and Lakers vs Thunder at 9:30 pm ET. I’ve picked out my best NBA player prop bet for one of those games so let’s dive in, while you can also find out our expert NBA picks for every game throughout the NBA season.
Best NBA player prop bet: Jalen Brunson (NY) over 24.5 points in Magic vs Knicks (-120)
Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Jalen Brunson has a great matchup tonight against the Magic. Orlando rarely double-teams opposing best players and will allow them to isolate in open space. This is a specialty for Brunson, as he has led New York to the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference thus far. He has hit this prop in 6 of 10 games this season and has a good history on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back. Orlando allows the 6th-most points to point guards in the NBA and Brunson is one of the most lethal there is. This bet could come down to whether the game is a blowout or not, but I like Orlando’s chances of keeping this somewhat competitive. Brunson is averaging nearly 28 points per game so this line looks like a gift. I’m happy to receive it. Let’s roll!
